WHO: Andy Warhol
WHAT: Big Shots: Andy Warhol Polaroids of Celebrities
WHEN: January 8 - February 26, 2011
WHERE: Danziger Projects
534 WEST 24TH STREET
NEW YORK CITY, NY 10011
WHY: Andy Warhols body of work has been combed over by everyone from patrons to amateurs - his brightly colored triptychs to the Campbell's soup can and Brillo soap pads have been lauded and reproduced year after year. His wild lifestyle and art studio (and Studio 54) are equally as legendary as his work and are best represented in his infamous collection of polaroids on view now at Danziger Projects in New York. Everyone from Arnold Shwarzenegger to Diana Ross are in his collection simply proving that anyone who was anyone was snapped by Warhol.

"Big Shots: Andy Warhol Polaroids of Celebrities" provides a look at a lesser-known but seminal body of work by the artist who was dazzled by celebrity and found much of his inspiration in the photographic image. Comprised of over thirty Polaroids of subjects ranging from Debbie Harry to Yves St. Laurent and Giorgio Armani to Yoko Ono, the pictures were taken between 1970 and 1986 on Warholʼs favorite camera - the Polaroid Big Shot.

Tom Ford: I'm 'Sexually Attracted' To Women

via The Huffington Post

Tom Ford recently dished to Out magazine about how he met his boyfriend of 24 years Richard Buckley, but in a conversation with artist John Currin for Interview, Ford talked about his feelings for the opposite gender:

I lust after beautiful women. First of all, I love women. But I lust after beautiful women in the way that I lust after a beautiful piece of sculpture -- this will probably get me in trouble -- or a beautiful car. I believe everyone's on a sliding scale of sexuality. There are moments where I am sexually attracted to women. But it doesn't overpower my first impulse; my lust for them is the same as my lust for beauty in all things. It's not like I ever think, "Oh, my god, I've got to spread her legs and fuck her."

Holy Tom Ford f-bomb! But moving along, cue the story of when the designer talked to a reporter in the buff:

FORD: Someone asked me recently about male nudity, and I brought up the subject that, in our culture, we use female nudity to sell everything. We're very comfortable objectifying women. Women go out and they are basically wearing nothing. Their feet and toes are exposed, their legs are exposed, their breasts are exposed. Everything is exposed -- the neck, the arms. You have to be really physically perfect, as a woman, in our culture to be considered beautiful. But full frontal male nudity challenges us. It makes men nervous. It makes women nervous. Other times in history, male nudes have been regarded in a different way. The Olympics were originally held nude. The reporter I was explaining this to said, "This would make a great story." I explained how when I come home I actually take off all my clothes, and I wear no clothes until I leave. I eat naked. I do everything completely naked. He said, "That would make a great interview." I said, "Fine, we have to do it nude." CURRIN: How old was the interviewer?
FORD: Oh, 55 or 56. [Currin laughs] He was in very good shape. Anyway, we did the interview. The interviewer was straight, and I made it a point to desexualize the interview even though I was sitting with my legs wide open, completely naked. At the end of the interview, I put on a dressing gown and he put on his clothes, and I sat next to him on the sofa and said, "Was that sexual?" He said, "Absolutely not." And I said, "That's because I didn't make it sexual. Sexuality is in the eyes, it's an expression, it's in a look." Then, all of a sudden, I looked at him in a very different way, and it made him very nervous.

Ok...'fess up, fashion writers! Who just spent a significant amount of time naked in the same room as Tom Ford? Seriously. Read the rest at Interview.

Marijuana Soft Drink: Medical 'Soda Pot' On The Way

via The Huffington Post

SOQUEL, Calif. — A California entrepreneur has plans to market a line medical marijuana soft drinks.

Clay Butler says he plans to supply medical marijuana dispensaries with his soda pot, which contains the psychoactive marijuana ingredient THC.

Marijuana drinks are already showing up here and there, but Butler says he thinks his branding savvy will make his product a hit.

Besides his flagship cola drink, Canna Cola, he will also produce Dr. Pepper-like Doc Weed, lemon-lime Sour Diesel, grape-flavored Grape Ape and orange-flavored Orange Kush.

A 12-ounce bottle will cost $10 to $15.

The Soquel-based commercial artist tells the Santa Cruz Sentinel that he doesn't do drugs or need medical marijuana for any ailments.
